In a new chat with podcast The Dan Wootton Interview, Cabello answers claims that Swift was the one who convinced her to up and leave the formerly five-piece girl group, which was formed on The X Factor in 2012.

“It annoyed me that people said she was encouraging me because I know that she probably got a lot of negative criticism for that. Absolutely nobody could ever persuade me to do something," she said. "If I don’t want to do something the whole world could be telling me and I won’t do it."

“And if I do then the whole world could be telling me to not do it and I’ll do it. I’ve always been that way," she added. "To be honest with you, she’s never ever had anything to do with that. It’s so funny, because when Taylor and I talk and whenever we hang out we talk about love and boys.”
